“As for accomplishments, I just did what I had to do as things came along.”

“Looking back I see that I was always afraid of something: of the dark, of displeasing people, of failure. Anything I accomplished had to be done across a barrier of fear. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT”

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

“What could we accomplish if we knew we could not fail?”

“I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do ...”

“I have never felt that anything really mattered but knowing that you stood for the things in which you believed and had done the very best you could.”

“If anyone were to ask me what I want out of life I would say- the opportunity for doing something useful, for in no other way, I am convinced, can true happiness be attained.”
